ability to actually weigh in on whether they would like a car washúx$h,÷ not. as you know on the west side of we believe this legislation will be a great vehicle for them -- there will be the cu requirements if certain conditions are met that they can say yes ory> way back when, we had asked project sponsors to meet with our neighbors and+ associations so we appreciate that they did try to reach out. but given the fact thisr legislation wasn't in place back then the neighbors didn't have a say as to whether -- or they opportunity for input. so with that, we do urge your support on this legislation. >> chair mar: thank+ ó@ you. i know that there's two car they're on geary boulevard. there's a shell station and a hand wash(ec so sunset has none at all. can i ask,b-fay ms. tang, are te four sites owned by smallerzu5

>> it would establish a citywide transportation sustainability fee which would apply to all net new development to fund transportation system improvements.

this is a test for the land use and environmental development. this is a test for the land use and environmental development. >> with the exception being accessory uses to residential. it does not apply to residential, nor would it apply to accessory uses which are

accessory to residential. in reviewing the proposed tidf rerecommend a grandfather period for most types of projects required to pay the fee under the updated tidf including nobl and pdr uses, including automotive services and wholesale services and equipment. it includes a grandfathering provision through calendar year 2013. the tidf update as put forward is intended to be consistent with the proposed transportation sustainability program to the degree possible. urd the proposed tsp ordinance the tsp allocates 6% of transportation sustain ablth revenue for a credits program. the program would allow projects meeting certain criteria to pay a fee that's reduced or waived,

the intention being to support other city's priorities and objectives by allowing waiver from the fee. currently, there are four types of projects which would be eligible for policy credits including small businesses, specifically defined as non-formula retail, occupying existing vacant space up to 5,000 square feet, projects built less than allowable in districts that establish parking maximums, affordable housing projects, and then small residential projects defined as projects of 20 units or less. and under the proposal credits are allocated on a first come first serve basis. in reviewing tidf update ordinance the planning commission recommended a policy credits program. the proposed tidf would provide policy credit to small businesses and reduced parking developments. again the small business policy credit program would be applicable in cases where the

small business non-formula retail using existing vacant space up to 5,000 square feet, because tidf does not apply to residential there was no residential component to the policy credits program. again, the credits would be allocated on first come first serve basis and consistent with the planning commission and small business commissions' recommendations projects would be eligible to receive up to 100% fee waiver under the policy program. so this table shows current tidf rates, and rates allowable under the nexus study and that final column shows how much of a fee would be charged in order for the city to collect enough funding to offset new development on the transit system. in no case is the city proposing to charge 100% of the nexus. the maximum percentage charge is about 68%. you will see most rates are proposed increase modestly with

the exception that pdr and museums are both proposed to decrease. this table provides an order of magnitude on nanel projected revenue under the tidf. because these revenue assumptions assume maximum development billedout in any given year they're largely overstated but what you can see from this is that the proposal to change the tidf rates would result in about 4% increase in projected revenue annually. and the final change under the proposed tidf update is clarify rules of mta planning and dbi in enforcing the tidf. what's proposed is for projects issued building or site permit after july 2010, planning would assess the fee and dbi would collect and enforce the fee. for projects issued building or site permits before july 2010, either mta or dbi would do --

excuse me mta would do the assessment in both cases but either mta or dbi would do the enforcement in collection depending whether certificate of occupancy has been issued. if one has not, g goh would dbie collection. the difference is because prior to july 2010, the mta had full administrative authority over the tidf. in july 2010 ti tidf was consolidated with other planning fees. however, there is a transition period that's required. so this would allow for an appropriate approach to different projects, depending where they are in the process. finally, the proposed tidf update would tie the future tidf -- of planning code 410 which establish requirements for

report analyzing, and updating fees. and both i and ms. -- from mta are available for questions. thank you. >> chair mar: also have regina dick intri, director from the office of small business with us as well. supervisor wiener? so why don't we ask if -- actually, ms. bose or ms. -- did you have any remarks at all? >> good afternoon, chair mar, supervisors. the small business commission heard this matter on june 11th, and it did -- its recommendation is to approve with recommendations, and our recommendation. one of the recommendations is in the current form of the legislation with a policy credit, which our office did work on with oawd in the transit

sustainability project. so the small business commission's final recommendation would be to approve this piece of legislation. and we're pleased with the policy credit for small businesses. >> chair mar: thank you. ms. bose, did you have any remarks? >> thank you, supervisors. nothing more than what alicia said but i do want to reiterate we're very supportive of this because it's one of the ways we fund our system. so we do want you to approve this. thank you. >> chair mar: thank you. now, let's open this up for public comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? so three minutes max. thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is steve cookland, i'm a development consultant working with the client on a project in the bayview, which consists of

wholesale storage, in combination with pdr incubator space. we filed an application for the project last year and we've been moving it through the process with some additional legislation. but the new tidf fee in the existing program, that is being modified, came as a bit of a shock to us. at the planning commission hearing, i made comments, and the commission approved -- or adopted recommendations to extend or provide a grandfather provision for storage until the end of 2013. and i'm just here to reiterate our -- or express our satisfaction with the planning commission and hope that you adopt it with those recommendations. thank you. >> chair mar: thank you. is there anyone else that would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor wiener.

>> supervisor wiener: colleagues, this is, as mentioned, a required review and update and i believe that staff and stakeholders and the commission, various commissions involved, have done a very good job balancing all the various needs, and making sure that we have a rational system in place, in terms of transit impact development fees. so i would move that we forward this to the board with a positive recommendation. >> chair mar: can we do this without objection, colleagues? thank you. thank you. ms. miller, please call our last item. >> alisa miller: item no. of, ordinance amending the park code to repeal subsection(b) demonstrating or soliciting in certain city parks while other events are in progress. >> chair mar: supervisor wiener.

>> supervisor wiener: thank you. this legislation repeals section 74.8(d) of the parks code which is outdated. this section applies to permitted events in seven parks in our city and provides specified locations where protests may occur. the implication being that they cannot occur anywhere else in the park. in the 30 years since the board of supervisors adopted this section, the configuration of these parks have changed, in some cases quite dramatically. as a result, this section is not only updated but it's difficult for park patrol and police officers to enforce it. for example, the section refers to a fountain in civic center that no longer exists, and it places a designated public assembly area for dolores park in the middle of the tennis courts, or what are now the tennis courts. this ordinance would delete these outdated provisions, and allow the city and rec and park

to appropriately tailor any necessary time, place and manner restrictions on public assemblies in our parks on a case-by-case basis in accordance can the california and united states constitution. section 7.15 also allow the city and rec and park to protect permitted events in parks from unreasonable interference, if needed. so this section is not only outdated but frankly is super influences given the department already has the tools it need to ensure free speech is allowed while avoiding interference with permitted events. so i ask for your support. >> chair mar: thank you. and i know we have alex randolph from the rec and park department here as well. but should we -- if there are no questions, should we just go to public comment?

supervisor? okay. so i see no questions. let's open this up for public comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? please come forward. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is karen slud, the executive director with the union square b.i.d. i'm here to speak in favor of this legislation. i do understand it is outdated, especially in the case of union square park. in addition it has been redesigned in the last 10 years. but my concern, i just want to make sure that it doesn't compromise existing permitted events. when a private event puts significant money into those events, we sponsor a lot of those events, it's not always clear where it's permitted. there's a main stage, the east side, the west side, and sometimes we have multiple events happening at the same time. i want to make sure that those permitted areas are clear.

>> chair mar: no. i appreciate that. i'm chairman, if i may respond. so this actually, i think, will improve the ability of rec and park to do that. of course this only applies to -- when there's a protest or an assembl assembly relating iny to that or at the same time as a permitted event. and this will give rec and park for flexibility in terms of determining okay the event is here so here's the appropriate area for a speech area or assembly area, as opposed to this section which says this is the free speech area, not taking into account where the permitted event might be. so in my view it actually increases the department's flexibility in terms of managing that. >> great. thank you very much. >> supervisor wiener: yeah. >> chair mar: thank you. are there any other people from the public that would like to speak? public comment is closed. supervisor wiener. >> supervisor wiener: i move

that we forward this item to the full board with positive recommendation. >> chair mar: thank you. can we do this without objection, colleagues? thank you. thank you. ms. miller, is there any other business before us? >> alisa miller: no, there are no further matters. >> chair mar: thank you, everyone. meeting adjourned.

>> this is really a great opportunity to express to you my appreciation for the america's cup, for deciding to come into san francisco to have this 34th race. the economic impact to the city is incredible. we estimate there will be $1 billion spent by everybody involved throughout the bay area as a result of this race. 8000 jobs have been this 34th race. , to hospitality, all the hotels, all the activities that you see around

made the decision to start racing in this wonderful day of hours. that will be, again, the first time ever that you will be able to see these races from the shore. the book to use the technology to get the excitement down, right on the boat itself. with that, i would like to welcome, and then i look forward not only to this race and next year, for the louis vuitton cup and america's cup, but i look for to announcing that this is, in addition to the third fourth america cup, it will be the san francisco america's cup. thank you and welcome. >> thank you.
